what do i need to buy to install dc header?

[frantik]

I've got a dc header but no gaskets at all. what gaskets and other stuff do i need to get to install this bad boy? i recall someone recommending a subaru or suzuki or someshit gasket for one of them but i dont recall exactly

You need an oem exhaust gasket for the header flange at the head and I dont think DC uses an actual gasket anywhere else. It is in the how to or FAQ here about headers.

well i'm pretty sure there is a gasket needed between the collector and the downpipe.. not seeing it in this thread http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37261

oh i see this:
Another thing is that the Pacesetter had just plain gaskets that went where the 4 connected to the 2. DC has specific indent rings, in which to put the supplied crush gaskets (one for each pipe in the Y)

where can i get these? dc?

I think there are 2 different DC headers. My DC header woudln't fit any of the factory crush gaskets. And some people say they used the factory ones no problem. I wound up getting some Toyota gaskets that had a slightly larger OD and ground them down to fit. They were just barely bigger. I have no idea what Toyota they were off of though. Just some random gaskets the guys had at the exhaust shop they said were for Toyotas...

i never used any w/ my dc headers and they worked fine for me.
